Alex Birman was looking for a little more knowledge. He found a community.

The Annapolis resident goes to classes and religious services offered by Chabad of Anne Arundel County, an outreach and educational center for Jews run by Rabbi Nochum Light and his wife, Hindy.

“I feel there's something communal about it,” Mr. Birman said. “It's important we have these types of opportunities to get together and do things.”

He's been attending classes at Chabad for about two years and has studied everything from portions of the Bible to Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). The atmosphere at Chabad, he said, is always friendly and open to everyone.

At an open house, Mendelsohn shows Kyle Leede how to put on tefillin in a prayer that Jewish men perform each morning. Doing so “connects mind, heart and soul to God,” says Mendelsohn.

When Rabbi Zalman Mendelsohn arrived in Jackson, Wyo., in May, the first thing he did was open the phone book in search of Jewish-sounding names.

“After making a few phone calls, I realized I wasn't getting anywhere,” Mendelsohn says. “I was finding a lot of wonderful German people living here in Jackson.”

by Rabbi Yisroel Bernath - Spiritual Director of Chabad of NDG and Loyola Campus

For the past few days, my world has been saturated with the news of President-Elect Barack Obama. Most of the statements I have heard were very negative or very positive – not much in the middle. Surprisingly, however, both extremes followed a similar theme: “It's the end of the world as we know it.”

As a Chabad Rabbi, my initial thoughts were against the President-Elect and much of his platform. Weighing his policy towards Israel, a land dear to myself and my brethren, and envisioning a world gone mad held in the palm of his hand, truly pierced me to the core.

History Repeats Itself at Chabad of Rara

RARA, Australia [CHI] — Chabad of Rural and Regional Australia has once again sent out another group of Roving Rabbis to visit Jews living in areas around Australia who are not residing in main Jewish communities. This trip, like all the ones before it, is focusing on bringing Yiddishkeit to these Jews. Mezuzas will be hung, Tefillin will be laid, Bar Mitzvas with men of all ages will be celebrated, Shabbatons, tens of house visits, signing people up to all of RARA’s programs and trying to locate new Jews to add to the 2000+ person database.
